Ordering your life takes time? God’s plan for your life is so awesome, 80 amazing, that you have to get it in stages. The Almighty can’t show it all to you right away.
It might scare you, so you get it in pieces to digest a bit at a time. As you are digesting, settle your affairs in order to receive the full revelation of Destiny.
These things take time. Now is the time to order your life and set your priorities straight. So as Destiny is unfolding, use that time to order your life and you’ll be ready to receive the life that is waiting for you.
Just as a mother eagle gives her growing eaglets time to learn how to flex their wings and navigate the winds that will carry them, God gives you time to learn and to grow.
Any life transition requires time. There’s a reason people hire personal trainers. When you become serious about getting or staying physically fit, you recognize that you need a plan.
When you walk into a health club, you need a plan so that all your body’s muscles are developed. A personal trainer helps you establish an order for your workout, according to the health goals you have set and the results you want to achieve.
Once you have a plan in place, getting to the level of physical fitness you want will take time. Then a trainer will help you stay on track if you’re tempted to get off.
Setting your priorities becomes like having a personal trainer. Priorities guide you to stay on course to Destiny.
Then you order your life around those priorities. An ordered life is in tune with the rhythm of life. When your life is in order you are more likely to pay attention to subtle changes that may be signaling a major shift or movement in your life.
When your life is chaotic, there may be major changes going on around you, but you miss them because you can’t focus on what’s going on right before you.
Your life may be in total chaos right now, but that just means now is a good time to start setting some priorities.
You can’t change everything at the same time and you can’t change everything quickly. Just start with one area of your life.
You may want to start by setting a budget, or maybe just a budget for one aspect of your finances. Start an exercise program. Cut a couple of credit cards in half.
Read a book to improve your – skills in the field you want to pursue. The key is to start. Ordering your life doesn’t happen by magic. There’s no hocus pocus, just sheer dedication to staying on task on a daily basis.
Human beings function best when there is structure in our lives; but it often takes time to get your life in order.
It takes time to get enough sense and maturity to figure out who you are and who you are not. It takes time to figure out what you need to focus on or what you need to put your energy into. It takes time to recognize what is essential and what is trivial.
When I learned that being unfocused only served to move .me away from my greater purpose, I figured out ways to keep order in my life.
Look at every relationship, every task, every association, every financial investment, and every time investment to determine whether they will serve your journey to Destiny.
Then be prepared to cut away the things that are not beneficial to your progress. The cutting-away process may be difficult, but think of it as a life-and-death decision.
You might find that when you prioritize, you won’t need to do much cutting because people at the bottom of your list will often cut you off.
Choosing to cut away associations and actions that don’t deserve your focus means giving life to Destiny.
Hanging o, to situations, behaviors, and people that are not your priorities can only block your route to Destiny.
You get to decide. Will you bring life to your dream or will you allow it to die of neglect? It is absolutely true that you have a divine summons to fulfill, but it’s not automatic and it’s no, guaranteed.
You are the major player who must give yourself fully to the process of becoming.
Understand the power of making sound decisions, not quick ones. I once heard a motivational speaker advise his audience, “When you don’t know what to do, just do something.”
As I listened, I thought it was the most misguided piece of advice | had ever heard. You can’t just do something and hope it works, because it just may affect the next twenty years of your life.
You can’t just up and decide to get married or move to a new city or buy a new house based on quick or impulse thinking and expect to have the best outcome.
You might have told yourself; “Well, it’s time for me to get married. I’m thirty-two years old.” So you marry Willie. But for the next twenty years, you’re mad and miserable.
You’re angry with Willie and sniping at him all the time. But you’re not really angry with Willie. You’re angry with yourself for making an impulse decision that has affected your life, Willie’s life, and the lives of any children you may have had.
Willie might have been someone else’s dream man, but instead he’s become your nightmare because you married him without thinking it through. Ordering your life with Destiny decisions takes time.
